Libvirt provides a portable, long term stable C API for managing the
virtualization technologies provided by many operating systems. It
includes support for QEMU, KVM, Xen, LXC, bhyve, Virtuozzo, VMware
vCenter and ESX, VMware Desktop, Hyper-V, VirtualBox and the POWER
Hypervisor.

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=872292 Libvirt should not attempt to call a QMP command that has not been documented in qemu.git - if future qemu introduces a command by the same name but with subtly different semantics, then libvirt will be broken when trying to use that command. We also had some code that could never be reached - some of our commands have an alternate for new vs. old qemu HMP commands; but if we are new enough to support QMP, we only need a fallback to the new HMP counterpart, and don't need to try for a QMP counterpart for the old HMP version. See also this attempt to convert the three snapshot commands to QMP: https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2012-07/msg01597.html although it looks like that will still not happen before qemu 1.3. That thread eventually decided that qemu would use the name 'save-vm' rather than 'savevm', which mitigates the fact that libvirt's attempt to use a QMP 'savevm' would be broken, but we might not be as lucky on the other commands. * src/qemu/qemu_monitor_json.c (qemuMonitorJSONSetCPU) (qemuMonitorJSONAddDrive, qemuMonitorJSONDriveDel) (qemuMonitorJSONCreateSnapshot, qemuMonitorJSONLoadSnapshot) (qemuMonitorJSONDeleteSnapshot): Use only HMP fallback for now. (qemuMonitorJSONAddHostNetwork, qemuMonitorJSONRemoveHostNetwork) (qemuMonitorJSONAttachDrive, qemuMonitorJSONGetGuestDriveAddress): Delete; QMP implies QEMU_CAPS_DEVICE, which prefers AddNetdev, RemoveNetdev, and AddDrive anyways (qemu_hotplug.c has all callers). * src/qemu/qemu_monitor.c (qemuMonitorAddHostNetwork) (qemuMonitorRemoveHostNetwork, qemuMonitorAttachDrive): Reflect deleted commands. * src/qemu/qemu_monitor_json.h (qemuMonitorJSONAddHostNetwork) (qemuMonitorJSONRemoveHostNetwork, qemuMonitorJSONAttachDrive): Likewise. |

LibVirt : simple API for virtualization
Libvirt is a C toolkit to interact with the virtualization capabilities
of recent versions of Linux (and other OSes). It is free software
available under the GNU Lesser General Public License. Virtualization of
the Linux Operating System means the ability to run multiple instances of
Operating Systems concurrently on a single hardware system where the basic
resources are driven by a Linux instance. The library aim at providing
long term stable C API initially for the Xen paravirtualization but
should be able to integrate other virtualization mechanisms if needed.
